100 mile ultra...here I come!

Well, I finally did it. I signed up!! I'll be running the Indiana Trail 100 on April 26.

I've known for a few months that I was going to do it, but hadn't signed up. But now it's official! It's really going to happen. Yes, I'm terrified! But I am also so excited. I've been reading lots of books and even talking to people who have ran ultra's before, trying to get all the knowledge and advice I can get. Here we go!!I didn't get my long run in on Saturday. :( But I did get in 5, and then another 5 on Sunday and Monday, and today. I hate not getting those long runs in though. This weekend nothing will stop me.I also didn't get to do the American Lung Association stair climb race on Saturday. In order to participate, you had to raise $100, and I was $65 short. I was SO disappointed. After my disastrous fund raising efforts for the Chicago marathon, I said I would never try to fundraise again. But when I saw that I only needed $100, I just knew I could do that. Well, I was wrong. So I'll say again, I'll never do another fundraiser!

The Super Bowl was pretty exciting this year, huh? Yea...I didn't even think the commercials were all that great. Bruno, on the other hand, was awesome!! I've never listened to the RHCP, so could've done without them. But I loved Bruno!Have a fabo day, my friends!!

Congrats on signing up!! Can't wait to hear all about it. I have always wanted to do the 3 day Avon walk but doubt I could ever raise that much ($1800) money!!! I have to agree with you.....the commercials were a total letdown!!!
